After missing the entirety of the 2024 season due to a neck injury, running back AJ Dillon has found a new home with the Philadelphia Eagles and is ready to make an impact in his return to the field.

AJ Dillon has joined the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2025 NFL season, and he has made something clear to Saquon Barkley regarding the competition for the RB1 role.

When running back AJ Dillon was considering his options in free agency, the opportunity to run behind the Eagles' offensive line was a major draw that led him to sign with Philadelphia.

I like the low-cost AJ Dillon signing because I don’t see Will Shipley ready to step completely into the backup running back role with Kenneth Gainwell off to the Steelers, but I can’t give the move a full endorsement because Dillon’s health is an unknown.

If he can return to his previous level, Dillon should offer the Eagles a bruising runner to spell Barkley with a track record of being productive in short-yardage situations. He has averaged 2.96 yards after contact during his career, according to Pro Football Focus. By comparison, Barkley has averaged 3.07 during his career and 3.22 last season.
